Movie theaters will eventually require security check points.
There's nothing more annoying than rowdy moviegoers when you're trying to watch a good flick. While a few "DON'T GO IN THERE" or "WATCH OUT BEHIND YOU" screams every now and then are tolerable and somewhat entertaining, it's perfectly normal to want to snatch that cellphone out of motormouth's hands as he/she sits right behind your ear.
Just make sure motormouth isn't packing a meat thermometer when you do.
The LA Times reports that a dispute at a Lancaster Cinemark 22 movie theater started out as a complaint about cell phone use during the movie, but eventually ended with a meat thermometer plunged into the complainer's neck.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said that the incident took place two weeks ago. A man attending a Saturday night showing of "Shutter Island" complained that a woman near him was using her cell phone. The report indicates that she then left the theater with two men.
Sometime later the two men returned to the theater and stabbed the victim in the throat with the meat thermometer. The suspects fled the scene and are currently still at large. The wounded man was rushed to the emergency room with "serious wounds" and remains hospitalized.
The investigation has offered no explanation as to why the woman and her two accomplices were packing heat in the form of a meat thermometer. The LA Times reports that anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the Lancaster sheriff's station at (661) 948-8466.

Oh wow, this got to hurt. It kind of scary when they can't catch the Meat Thermometer stabbers. This is just a very weird story, and sickening as well. I wonder if the guy is a butcher since it is kind of odd to be carrying a meat thermometer.
